 Key Stake Holders
Key Players Potential Pain
Operations/Maintenance  Increasing repair costs due to failures on old equipment
Manager  Longer repair times due to poor availability of spare parts
 Reconfiguration costs increasing due to needed software support
Project Manager  Increasing configuration cost due to extended installation and
startup
 Applications support difficult to get – causes delays
 Unable to maintain schedules and cost

Measurement Specialist  Current measurements do not meet standards and lack credibility
 Verification of calculations difficult to do
 Proving procedures do not meet standards
 Accounting for product loss due to poor measurement

Manager Measurement  Revenue loss due to poor measurement uncertainty (Asset

Services or Manager management, Billing Errors)
Technical Services  Poor tech support in making configuration changes keeping system
calibrated
 Increasing, Escalation Measurement Cost
 Difficulty in determining accurate measurement for billing

Pipeline Operations Manager  Increasing billing problems

 Decreasing throughput due to maintenance issues and continued
use of old technology
 Decreasing pipeline operating profit
